Vitamin d and health
Vitamin D is produced in the skin upon exposure to sunlight and plays an important role in bone health and cellular functions throughout the body. It is hydroxylated in the liver to 25-hydroxyvitamin D and then in the kidneys to its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Deficiency is linked to increased risk of various chronic diseases. Vitamin D receptors exist in most cells and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D has wide-ranging effects, including roles in immune function, cell growth regulation, and reduction of inflammation. Adequate vitamin D levels may protect against cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions like multiple sclerosis.

Coconut oil handout
Coconut oil has various health benefits. It contains antioxidants and antimicrobial fatty acids. While high in saturated fat, studies show coconut oil may not increase heart disease risk like other saturated fats due to its unique fatty acid composition. Coconut oil is solid at room temperature and can be used for cooking or baking, where it adds flavor and has a higher burning point than other oils. The fatty acids in coconut oil are metabolized differently than other fats and may provide benefits for conditions like malabsorption.
Coconut oil
This document summarizes the health effects of coconut oil by comparing its fatty acid composition to other oils like corn oil. It finds that while coconut oil has more saturated fat than corn oil, its medium-chain fatty acids may provide benefits like supporting immune function and reducing abdominal fat. However, it cautions that coconut oil should not completely replace unsaturated vegetable oils which provide essential fatty acids and are generally healthier. Overall, the document concludes coconut oil can be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet for its possible health benefits and flavor in cooking.
Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a compound found in various plants and foods like grapes, blueberries, and red wine. It has many health benefits such as being an antioxidant that reduces oxidative damage, inhibiting cancer development at various stages, reducing inflammation, and helping to regulate blood glucose and lipid levels. Resveratrol protects cells and tissues from damage by reducing free radicals, preventing platelet aggregation, inhibiting cancer-promoting enzymes, and modulating inflammatory pathways. These properties may help prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative conditions.
Why the blue is good for you

Weight loss through diet and exercise is also emphasized as important for reducing hypertension risk factors like obesity.
Nutrient sensing and metabolic disturbances
This document summarizes potential causes of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, including ectopic fat accumulation, impaired fat oxidation, defects in mitochondrial function, and impaired lipid metabolism. It also discusses adipose tissue as an endocrine organ and the roles of adipocytokines like adiponectin and resistin. Finally, it examines nutrient sensing pathways such as AMPK that regulate cellular energy levels and metabolism.
Gestational diabetes
Gestational diabetes occurs in approximately 5% of pregnancies and results in high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. It develops when the placenta produces hormones that prevent the mother's cells from properly using insulin. To manage gestational diabetes, patients must monitor their blood sugar levels, follow a healthy diet with balanced carbohydrate intake, engage in moderate physical activity, and potentially take insulin or other medications. Maintaining blood sugar control is important for the health of both the mother and baby.
Diabetes and macrosomia
This document discusses several studies related to gestational diabetes and macrosomia. The first study found that maternal BMI had a greater influence on the development of large for gestational age (LGA) babies than glucose control. A second study identified that maternal BMI and LGA in a previous pregnancy most influenced fetal growth in the late second and early third trimesters, while maternal glycemia predominantly impacted growth later in the third trimester. A third study examined the degree of glucose control needed in women with type 1 diabetes to achieve normal fetal growth and neonatal proportions.
Complications of diabetes
This document discusses common complications that can arise from diabetes, including heart disease, kidney disease, eye complications, nerve damage, foot complications, skin complications, and depression. It provides details on each complication, such as how diabetes increases the risks of heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure. It emphasizes the importance of controlling blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol to reduce health risks.
Obesity in children & teens
This document discusses obesity in teens and children. It finds that Mexican-American and non-Hispanic black youth have higher rates of overweight than white youth. Adolescents and older adults are more likely to be overweight than younger groups. Obesity results from long-term energy imbalance where calories consumed exceed calories used. Having two overweight parents significantly increases a child's risk of becoming overweight themselves. Measuring tricep skinfold thickness from ages 3 to 17 showed children of two obese parents were three times as fat as children of two lean parents by age 17.
Childhood obesity basics
This document provides an overview of childhood obesity including prevalence, risks, environmental and genetic factors, critical periods of development, diet, physical activity, and recommendations for prevention. Some key points:
- Rates of childhood obesity in the US have increased 2-3 fold over the last 25 years. Approximately 18.8% of US children ages 6-11 are overweight.
- Risk factors for childhood obesity include family history, low income, lack of physical activity, excess calorie intake, excessive screen time, and lack of breastfeeding.
- Critical periods for the development of obesity are gestation, ages 5-6, and adolescence. Early life nutrition and growth patterns can impact future health.
Lycopene
This document discusses lycopene, a carotenoid pigment found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables. It provides lycopene's sources, history of research on it, levels of intake in different populations, content in various foods, biological activities including antioxidant effects, and potential health benefits related to reducing risks of certain cancers and cardiovascular disease. The Pennington Nutrition Series publishes research from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center on nutrition, chronic disease prevention, and healthy aging.
Healthy grilling
Grilling vegetables and fruits instead of red meats can reduce the risk of chronic diseases. When vegetables are grilled, they do not form cancer-causing compounds like meats do. Colorful vegetables like corn, zucchini, and bell peppers as well as fruits make for healthy grilling options. To prevent the formation of cancer-causing PAHs and HCAs when grilling meats, one should use techniques like pre-cooking meats, avoiding excess fat and charring, frequent flipping, and marinating meats in herbs and spices.
Health benefits of green tea
